Herath completes 5-wkt circle
Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath became just the third bowler in history to take five-wicket hauls against all nine Test opponents, before Zimbabwe fought back on day three of the second Test at Harare Sports Club on Tuesday.
Herath recorded figures of 5 for 89 -- his first five-wicket haul against Zimbabwe -- to bowl the home side out for 272 and give Sri Lanka a 232-run lead in the first innings.
But after the tourists opted not to enforce the follow-on, fast bowler Carl Mumba picked up three wickets as Sri Lanka slumped to 84 for four in their second innings.
